Set amidst 1.5 acres of graceful cypresses, wise old olive trees, exotic palms, fragrant pines, colourful blooms and manicured emerald lawns, Ophira is a beautifully appointed villa with pedigree, space aplenty, and an irresistible pool. The serene views over Gouvia Bay and the evocative white chapel of Ypapanti are hypnotic, and the numerous terraces offer the perfect vantage point from which to take in this most Greek of scenes.

The Area
Ophira is situated on the exclusive Kommeno promontory, just 11km (a 15min drive or taxi ride) north of Corfu Town, whose Venetian fortifications, UNESCO World Heritage Site old town centre, labyrinth of pretty streets and excellent range of shops, restaurants, bars and nightlife are well worth exploring.
The best beaches nearby are at Spiaggia Bianca and Dassia, both of which are around 5 minutes away, while in terms of tavernas, apart from the one within easy walking distance (600m), there are plenty of options just a short drive away up and down the coast.
For shops, bars and cafés, there is a good selection in and around Gouvia just across the bay, and there is a boat hire provider within a few minutes' stroll from Ophira.
Heading to the northeast of Corfu are the delightful little bays, beaches and villages of Agni, Kalami, Agios Stefanos and Avlaki, and the bustling little harbour town of Kassiopi.
If you're travelling with kids, there are plenty of stimulating activities and attractions for children within easy reach.

Ophira and the staff were excellent and we had a lovely time. It's a well-made villa with lots of space and a lovely pool and garden. The food was great.
Tom Davy August 2024
Ophira is excellent and the service was very good. We also loved the views and the isolation of the place.
Anonymous September 2024
Ophira is the perfect villa. The layout, setting and location was ideal for our family and friends who traveled from all over the world to be our guests in Corfu, and the staff were perfect, exceptional in their attentiveness, warmth, and kindness.

Ophira was magical. You couldn’t ask for more. Would I return? It is heavenly - I would be mad not to return! Thank you for an excellent job done. It made all the difference.
